Great video. I love the Andy Griffith Show and all the characters. Howard McNear was a wonderful actor. and did a great job with Floyd the barber. He also played "Andy the barber" in a "Leave It To Beaver" episode. The episode where Ward yells at Wally for using his razor.
rem2267 said it all, but I'll say some more ;-B. With all due respect, it's a real shame this otherwise exceptional piece is spoiled by the one line about the stroke. Tastelessness aside, you violated the "fourth wall"--the rest of the lyrics and video stayed within the limits of spoofing the Mayberry characters, and this real-world reference yanked me right out of the moment.
ALMOST Fantastic! I love the show and the character, but I thought that the part where you said that he had to sit down b/c he had a stroke was really tasteless.
Also, it sounded like you called Otis 'Emmet.' (could be me, though, although I played it twice)
If you can find it in your heart to take out the part about the stroke, I'd give it a thumbs up. Otherwise, I liked it very much.
“We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by our attempt at humor regarding the health of Howard McNear" --Gilbert Gottfried
We also commend anyone who managed to notice that, while we recorded the song with the name 'Emmet' in the lyrics, we could only find a clip of 'Otis.' It turns out our research was flawed (albeit nonexistent); "Emmet' did not appear on the Andy Griffith Show until after Floyd had left.
Wow...well edited and brilliantly written. Hope you have a full-time job that allows you to express yourself this well. But I have to say it...Emmet Sucks. Or is it Emmit?
This really made me laugh...I am a rabid Sweeny Todd fan so much that I dismissed the movie for omitting the overture.....and gah...this took me completely by surprise....You are awesome..thank you!!
HILARIOUS! i KEEP laughing at it. i'm trying to get everyone i know to share it, this should go utterly viral. how did you piece out all those particulary Mayberry moments? it's scary to contemplate anybody knowing the show that well, but Kudos on the product, it's BRILLIANT!

everyone loved floyd, that's why in later episodes, when the actor became disabled and couldn't walk or stand well, he was kept on the show, and shown sitting down.
they even rigged a special support stand thing for those times when he had to stand behind the barber chair.
Genius editing as well as an inventive lyric! I hope this is shared with Mr. Sondheim. Thanks for creating this. It's obvious it was done with great affection!
I show this video to any fan of Mayberry that I come across. Good to know there are some like you using your twisted mind for the sake of good. Too funny!
He had a massive stroke in the later episodes, that's why he was always seen sitting outside the shop or standing behind the barber's chair. He was paralyzed on one side.
Yes, we wrote and recorded the song before the footage was compiled (and before we remembered that Emmet didn't appear until after Floyd was gone), but in the spirit of never letting facts get in the way of good fun, it was easier to just continue with it as is and wait to hear from the infinitesimal percentage of total geeks like you to take their pleasure in pointing out our gaffe. Thanks for watching!
No apology necessary--just dishing out some good-natured ribbing on our end. You weren't the first to catch it--but you were one of only three or four out of around 125. Total geeks unite!
@riotactivities infinitesimal percentage of total geeks? Good God I just like watching it ans your "Gaffe" sticks out like a sore thumb! Only a total geek would take the time to make this....however, i am glad u did!
What's great is that even after "Floyd" had his massive stroke, they kept him on the show...very sweet. Put this clip with "Lego Silence of the Lambs" and you will have two songs stuck in your head, for weeks to come! But at least they are CLEVER songs, right?? Excellent job.
Oh, that was just - made me laugh, it was good, like the variety show they put on... in Mount Pilot... oh, but funny! I remem - er uh..hmm before your time, wasn't it?
Brilliant! BRAVO! This is a wonderous work of visual/sound editing...Makes me wonder if you are an editor by profession. Thank you, thank you for posting....Hilarious!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Well, since they cut this song out of the movie version of Sweeney, they should be forced to splice this video onto the front of the DVD! - Just desserts!!!
I was reading about the Andy Griffith show and found it interesting that Howard McNear suffered a stroke and was going to quit the show until Andy talked him into staying. However, he wasn't in good health, and if you notice in the later episodes, he's almost ALWAYS sitting down - usually in his barber chair or on a bench. The film crew adjusted to his needs.
Howard finally left the show because of his declining health, and he died from another stroke a couple of years after he retired.
@grekanda29 Really nice how he talked him into staying, with today's style of show with no substance most studios would have just let him go. After the shows all said and done I wouldn't have wanted him any other way
Very good although that wasn't Emmett (that was Otis) in one bit and Floyd left the show long before it "wasn't renewed" (actually they just had to change the title to Mayberry RFD because Griffith was sick of playing Andy Taylor and wanted to make movies.
@riotactivities infinitesimal percentage of total geeks? Good God I just like watching it ans your "Gaffe" sticks out like a sore thumb! Only a total geek would take the time to make this....however, i am glad u did!
I've watched your video a few times now. No one really can understand how long you must of took to make it. Not counting the music. Nice touch of show theyeme song. Did you buy the DVD for such a clean copy? Lots of editing. Great Job. Now lets hope you don't get thrown off youtube for using Copyrighted material....not that I would know anything about it.....Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This is excellent....what a great tribute to a very funny actor....thanks for much for sharing this with us! You did an excellent job...I'm impressed!!!! I'd buy this!
I also like the way you edited the swirling angles, the great choice of shots of apprehensive Mayberry citizens and of Floyd adt his weirdest, and making the color episode clips appear in black and white for uniformity and so the whole thing has that noir/Universal horror look. And yeah, I noticed the Emmett goof, but didn't bother to mention it.
I adore this video. I love "The Andy Griffith Show," and this is a great mash-up which manages to be both biting and affectionate (I admit, my favorite lyric is "He had a stroke, so he always sat down": sad but true, you can always tell a pre and post-stroke episode by whether Floyd is only seen sitting or carefully propped by his barber chair). The salute to Howard McNear at the end is a nice touch.
We this Ballad was definitely missing in the film version...would be a brilliant stroke to insert this to buoy up that debacle! But then, this is indeed sung better..they'd never go for it...
As a huge fan of both "Sweeney Todd" and "The Andy Griffith Show, I LOVE this. But there is one error: at 1:31, the song lyrics name the onscreen character as Emmett, when it is, in fact, Otis. Small quibble though. This is GREAT!
Congratulations--YOU WIN!! We wondered how long it would be before someone spotted the mistake. The goof was actually in the lyrics, which were recorded before the video was cut together. It turns out Emmett didn't even appear until after Floyd left the show. We fired the lyricist, but decided to leave the mistake in so some total geek like you could take glee in pointing it out :) We're glad you liked it--and watched it enough times to notice. Thanks!
